Gd could not be found

Hey guys,

I’ve spent 4 hours now tweaking configure and it still couldn’t find my GD, PNG and/or JPG. Please help.

This is what I get when running

./configure --with-gd-lib=/usr/local --with-gd-inc=/usr/local

*** GD, PNG, and/or JPEG libraries could not be located… *********

Boutell’s GD library is required to compile the statusmap, trends
and histogram CGIs. Get it from boutell.com/gd/, compile
it, and use the --with-gd-lib and --with-gd-inc arguments to specify
the locations of the GD library and include files.

.

then here are the files related to the library

for GD:

My machine is a FreeBSD 4.9- STABLE and it’s running nagios 1.1.

Please help,

Neil

I had the same trouble until I noticed this:
boutell.com/gd/manual2.0.33.html

./configure --prefix=/usr when installing gd fixed my error like the one you have.

You might also waht to edit /etc/ld.so.conf and then run
ldconfig

still didn’t fix. I will try reinstalling the old version

here are some good and bad news.

I downloaded nagios 2.0rc2 and used the same configure options. It found GD, jpeg and png libraries.

checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 1)… no
checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 2)… yes
GD library was found!

The bad news: something is wrong with the way configure in 1.3 looks for GD, jpeg and png library.
